Is the sauce chicken healthy?

There is a folk proverb: "Eat a chicken in ups and downs and be healthy for a year." It can be seen that it has long been a habit to eat chicken tonic in midsummer, among which Fu Tou is the most grand. The reason is that after entering the dog days, the weather is hot, people's physical consumption is relatively high, and the body needs proper nutrition; For people who are usually afraid of cold due to yang deficiency, eating chicken in dog days can also play the role of warming up and dispelling cold and dampness, which is just in line with the concept of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" and "treating winter diseases in summer" advocated by Chinese medicine.

Eat chicken in dog days, especially broilers. Broiler refers to a cockerel that can't crow, but has just matured but hasn't been bred yet. Chicken is tender but not greasy, fresh and elegant, and it is a very nutritious and healthy food. Eating broilers in dog days has the effects of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, preventing heatstroke and eliminating dampness, and strengthening yang and tonifying deficiency.
